We have had good luck here with Dells and Compaqs. They both took

While this will work, killall is a little evil, because it can
sometimes accidentially kill some other things you weren't expecting.
A more precise way to do this would be:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
Either one will get th

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the problem lies with
fetchmail. It's been fixed in an upcoming release. You won't need
any hacks in your exim.conf file anymore, nor will you need

After some further cogitation, I spoke to the fetchmail author, and it
turns out that it was a problem with fetchmail. He's fixed it in the
next version, soon to be released. Once that's done fetchmail users
on sytems running exim shouldn't need the -mda option to fetchmail or
any special workar
Actually it turns out that using
receiver_unqualified_hosts=myhost.mydomain
fixes the problem nicely. Assuming no one else sees a problem with
this solution, I'm going to suggest it to the fetchmail FAQ
maintainers to replace the current -mda "exim -bm %" solution.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but I had discovered (see one of my previous
messages) that I could get it to work with this option. However, I
wanted to know why it was necessary. So far everyone who has a
working setup is using it, but accor
